Very impressive!

How about the Red Pitaya? https://redpitaya.com/

Great, I've got one of those too. It doesn't mean you can't bullshit.

Haha, exactly

Coder philosophy drivel has truly ascended to the level of high art.

It's Cthulu.

Nice collection of very selective points. To respond to just a few:

So if something is complex we shouldn't or can't build it? OK. I hope you aren't an engineer.

Energy is needed to perform electrolysis to create hydrogen. What about the energy needed to mine uranium? I think it might require quite a lot of effort, particularly once supplies get harder to reach and extract.

The parts get radioactive and need maintenance and storage. The radioactivity is much more short term than fission. Fission fuel needs stored away from all life for 100,000 years. It will be a miracle if we manage to achieve that.

I think small scale modular fission is a good option, but your arguements against fusion aren't good.

So what? It's been a good idea for a hundred years. That doesn't mean it's simple to engineer in practice, but nor does it mean it's a poor idea that can't be achieved.

No, that is not the right conclusion.

Many of the replies to this think I was making a flippant comment. To clarify, like many people I take antidepressants and I find they do help me get on with things. If someone says depression isn't about brain chemistry I'm wondering what else is there? Isn't our mood a physical chemical system? If not, what else do you think it is?

What's the alternative explanation?

The title is written in a clickbait format. So I had to point it out.

Are you joking?

No info was sent.

But isn't the point that if you want to electrify more industry while eliminating thermal power generation then you will need massive energy storage to cover the gaps in real time energy supply from renewables..? If you rush and do what you are saying without finding an efficient way to store a surplus of energy then you will have blackouts come winter.

It depends on the nature of your company, customers, and staff. We went with M365 because outlook is far and away the best and most professional email client, we need to be able to collaborate live on documents, teams allows built in presentation of slides without screen sharing, and our partners understand how to be invited into SharePoint repositories.

I know this is anathema to many people here. If you have a business made of 5 coders and your customers are other coders, you can do whatever you want.

I enjoy high quality audio, but I use my phone. If you get a Quboz or Tidal 24/96 subscription then as long as you take care of the DAC and speakers/headphones you've got a great chain. Rather then buying a Sony digital audio player, you could spend that money on a good set of Sony headphones - assuming you already own the requisite phone. And in the house, you can build a very high performance audio setup for about £200 via hifiberry, avoiding the bonkers price of hires hi-fis.

> 82% of people who suffer from blood clots, sat for a significantly greater amount of time than the remaining 18%.

What? So of the group, who all had blood clots, a load of them sat more than the others? I'm struggling to draw a firm conclusion from that. What are you comparing that ratio to? If you picked a group of 100 people at random and found out how long they sat for, do you think it is likely or unlikely that 80% of the group sat more than the other 20%? If I bought 1,000 apples, and their size had a normal distribution, I could cut that distribution whether I want and thereby show that 80% of them are larger than the remaining 20%. I could say it and I would be right, but I've demonstrated nothing significant.

The amount of basic grammar errors in the article forced me to stop reading. Can't take it seriously.

75% is an awfully round number for efficiency!

Infinite torque...?

If this is true, why is the oldest one only trivially older than the oldest human?

DDG is fine. They addressed the fuss over them using Yandex as one of many sources particularly for Russian language results. I think we should be a bit more careful to not tar everyone with the same brush. I'd take DDG over Google any day.

What a great novel.

This article and the thinking it conveys are deeply flawed, in my opinion.

This was great. As usual I marvel at the ingenuity that went into game development back then (probably still does).

But the next day it was raining, so he went out a little tour of his estate in a 4x4 instead.

The Financial Times is really good. It's not just about finance, don't worry. It's the most balanced and informative news source I've ever read. It's a little expensive but it's worth it. Been a subscriber for about 3 years now.

No problem. They created new national laws for covid 19 enforcing lockdowns etc and then were photographed repeatedly breaking them, and eventually the prime minister was fined by police. On the international front, the same government negotiated with the EU and signed an agreement relating to Brexit and the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland. They have now, a short time later, decided to unilaterally change the contract, breaking international law. The EU are now taking the UK to court.

Who are the emerging competitors to Amazon that the article refers to?
